Sandwich panels have recently become the most common material used to build houses and repair facades. The fact is that these panels have a number of positive qualities: reliability, durability, thermal insulation properties. The advantages of the sandwich panels include their simple installation and relative cheapness. Thus, the use of panels allows you to reduce the construction time and the cost of the building being built.
Installation of panels of this type is a simple process, but it also has its own nuances. In addition, the reliability of the entire building depends on the quality of installation. That is why it is necessary to pay special attention not only to the quality of the panels themselves, but also to equipment and fasteners. Sandwich panels should be mounted by people who have experience in this matter.
Installation of panels can be vertical or horizontal. Horizontal installation begins with the installation of a basement and other additional elements. The location of the panels must be marked in advance tags. Then the first row of panels are laid. The next row of panels is attached in the same way as the lower row, a groove down.
Vertical joints need to be insulated, either with a special insulation, or foam. For fastening, special screws are used.
Vertical installation is very similar to horizontal. Installation from the lower corner of the wall begins, from the base. The vertical series of the required height is mounted. Only then the row is attached to the basement with self -tapping screws, and the panels are also fastened to each other. Then other vertical rows are laid out.
It is worth noting that the sandwich panels of small thickness are used even to cover the roofs.
